I love Fall! It's a great time of the year. Leaves changing, Halloween, crisp mornings, and a good excuse to cuddle! But, with that can also come LOTS of eating, such as Halloween candy, Thanksgiving, and making heavier dinners since it's cooler out. So, I decided that I would share a yummy protein drink recipe for you. It's bariatric friendly, so if you decide to substitute anything, then plan to adjust the nutritional value. I've tried this recipe myself last fall, and I did it without the ginger and cloves, and it was yummy, and filling. Try it and let me know what you think!!
Pumpkin Protein Shake (meal replacement)
1 cup water
1/4 cup fat-free half & half
1 scoop Perfect Natural Isopure Vanilla protein powder
1/4 cup pure pumpkin puree
1/4 cup frozen sugar-free whipped topping, thawed
2-3 tablespoons Splenda Granular
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon each ginger and cloves)
6 ice cubes
In a blender combine the water, half & half, Isopure Vanilla, pumpkin, whipped topping, Splenda, spices, and ice cubes. Process until smooth and thick. Serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. Makes one serving.
